Aberrant expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) has been shown to be associated with the progression and metastasis of cancer. Dysregulation of miR‑144 has been observed in numerous types of cancer; however, the exact role of miR‑144 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. The present study observed that miR‑144 was downregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. Forced overexpression of miR‑...

Really Simple Syndication (RSS) uses extensive markup language (XML) to constantly scan the content of Web sites for updates, which will then be delivered to subscribers' desktops or mobile devices through an RSS feed. RSS helps professionals stay current while reducing workloads. Librarians need to get familiar with RSS to educate their users, to stay current in information technology, and to ...

A new generation algorithm for the base-K logarithm is presented. Intermediate results for computation of the logarithm are presented in the redundant signed digit (RSD) representation, and additions and subtractions were performed without carry propagation. Based on the properties of RSD arithmetic, higher performance is obtained as compared with the conventional logarithm in the classical bin...

A simple, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method for the assessment of carbofuran in various formulations and in environmental water samples is described. The method is based on the coupling of hydrolyzed carbofuran with diazotized dapsone in alkaline medium at 0 – 4° C which gives orange red colored product having the absorption maximum at 480 nm. The product is stable for 48 h. Bee...
